Let-7b-5p in vesicles secreted by human airway cells reduces biofilm formation and increases antibiotic sensitivity of P. aeruginosa
6 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Significance Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections worldwide primarily due to its ability to develop antibiotic-resistant biofilms. This report describes a mechanism whereby human airway epithelial cells (AECs) increase the ability of antibiotics to kill P. aeruginosa and reduce the formation of drug-resistant biofilms. We demonstrate that human AECs secrete...
